(Gray News) – Chick-fil-A is bringing back its annual Cow Appreciation Day on Tuesday, and customers who show up dressed like a cow will score a free entrée.

The promotion runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. local time at participating Chick-fil-A restaurants nationwide.

Customers dressed in cow-themed attire — think spots, ears or a full costume — can choose one free entrée from a select menu of breakfast, lunch or dinner options, while supplies last at participating restaurants.

Here’s what’s on the free menu:

  • Breakfast: Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit (original) or a 4-count Chick-n-Minis
  • Lunch/Dinner: Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich (original or spicy); 8-count Nuggets (original or grilled); or 3-count Chick-n-Strips
  • Kids 12 and under: A select entrée and a kid’s prize, while supplies last

Customers should check with their local restaurant to confirm which options are available, as offerings may vary by location.

To be eligible for the free entrée, you must show up in person. Digital ordering does not qualify.

The free entrée can only be claimed in-store, through carry-out or at the drive-thru. The offer cannot be combined with other promotions or Chick-fil-A One rewards.

Chick-fil-A has hosted Cow Appreciation Day for years, leaning into the brand’s iconic “Eat Mor Chikin” cow mascots. The chain says the event is one of its most popular annual celebrations.
